perf tools: Ensure event leader stays at head of evlist after sorting

For evlist of a certain event/metric, the HEAD should be the event
leader. In some scenarios where uncore_xxx_0 does not exist, the event
leader is not the first element after sorting. For example, on my test
machine uncore_iio_0 does not exist, the event leader is uncore_iio_2.

However, in `evlist__cmp`, it was reordered based on the PMU name, which
makes uncore_iio_1 the HEAD of evlist, breaking the following merge
logic in `evsel__merge_aliases`.

The patch adds a loop at the end of
`parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups` to make sure the first
wildcard match is the earliest entry in the list, updating pointers
accordingly without breaking reordering detection.

Tested on device lacks uncore_iio_0, and `perf test` looks good.
